    Oh my gosh, Jennifer! Your early videos using alcohol inks are what got me started with card making! TY!

    I had to show these to my husband! He gets ideas for me to use, but hasn't made any cards - yet! It's hard to impress a man, but he was awed. TY Jennifer. I'll be getting out my alcohol inks.

    Hi Jennifer. It's Lisa, and I'm new in this neck of the crafting woods. :) Thank you for your instructive video. I don't at this time have any alcohol (liquid) inks, but I do have some alcohol markers. I am going to try your method with them, and see how it turns out! This is also the first year that, because of your teaching and encouragement, I made ALL of my Christmas cards! I had a blast, and am now preparing for birthdays and Valentine's Day. Ha Ha Ha Thank you again. I really appreciate you; especially your openness about your faith! *Hugs*

    I love playing with alcohol inks on Yupo. I am glad you mentioned that you didn’t have to seal or fix it because I really wondered about that. I also love that technique of blowing on the ink. They were all gorgeous as usual. Thank you so much

    These cards are amazing Jennifer! I've loved alcohol inks since they first came out and it's good to be able to use a new technique with them. I can't wait to dig them out! thank you for sharing.

  • @janegotelli7152
    @janegotelli7152 7 лет назад

    Absolutely love this technique. I didn’t know I could use alcohol on the alcohol ink for a beautiful look. The blending solution always just gave me dots and I didn’t think to move it around. I am so grateful for all the inspiration you have given me over the years.

    Jennifer, you are inspiring. I love playing with alcohol ink, but wondered how to make great Christmas cards with the medium and you've given me so many ideas. I love the dye cut words. They are the perfect adornment while leaving the painting visible. Thank you.

    @carolsze6559 7 лет назад +1

    So glad to see you use yupo. It’s an amazing product. I started watching you way back when you had a whole series on alcohol inks. It’s so forgiving and each creation is unique and stunning especially with the metallic mixatives.

  • @carolyngurney5376

  • @donnawalker3910
    @donnawalker3910 7 лет назад

    Just a few days ago I was at a craft store and all the Tim Holtz/Ranger products were on sale. I have never used alcohol inks but I picked up several colors plus the gold and silver mixatives and a bottle of blender. I really didn't know what to do with them so your video is super serendipitous! Now I need to go get some yupo paper, if there's any left. After you come out with a video all the supplies are gone in a flash 😁

  • @mayloo2137
    @mayloo2137 5 лет назад

    I make Christmas cards every year, each year doing something different with them. I used alcohol inks for the first time a few moths ago. I have since made several sheets of backgrounds using the inks. I would love to use them to make my Christmas cards this year. This video is timely, but it's still a bit early to think about Christmas. I will definitely keep this video in mind though when it comes to making my cards. Thank you.

    I’ve watched so many you tube videos so Pinterest ideas and videos as a crafter of many years I must say I definitely feel your video is by far the best I’ve ever come across so to the point and so many ideas in on video in a short amount of time. I went ahead and ordered a whole set of alcohol inks from Tim Holtz Alcohol blending solution , and stamp pad, yupo paper , I mean a bunch of stuff. You have inspired me so much to try these I can’t wait I will be subscribing just adore you. Wow! I’ve got some great ideas 💡 now of my own can’t wait to see more of your videos. I found my go to girl.... stay bless....

    I've always used glossy cardstock but recently bought Yupo paper to give it a try. I have a product called Luna Lights (about 17 yrs old) believe it was made by Stamp Oasis, no longer made, beautiful metallic ink products. I'm going to try mixing with alcohol inks since both products r used on glossy products. I would LOVE to see this product on the market again!!

  • @ericasvahnberg3108
    @ericasvahnberg3108 7 лет назад

    I've always known how to do the swiping and pouncing with the alcohol inks, but never realized to drag a brush through or use a straw. Amazing! And yes, all about more techniques with alcohol ink. I have (and love) Yupo, but I was also gifted a ton of glossy cardstock and will take any excuse I can find to use it. And as always, these cards are absolutely stunning :)

    @suebouch4074 7 лет назад

    Thanks for sharing your creativity with us... I was recently playing with my alcohol inks with my elderly Mom who has Parkinson's and this medium doesn't need steady hands so it was perfect for us. I've watched several videos about alcohol inks but hadn't seen or didn't remember the idea of using a brush to add the blending solution and move the inks around. A BIG thank you for that tip as I love the marbled look it achieves. Have a great day! 😃

    I really enjoyed watching you play with the alcohol and ink. As a matter of fact I was getting a little jealous that you were having all the fun and I wasn't getting to have any of it. Lol. The out come of the ink and alcohol reminds me of when I play with food coloring and men's shaving cream except your paper didn't come out wet and warped when you finished. Or smell good either I bet! Lol💙 I especially like the O Holy Night and the other beautiful ones with the cross. Those were definitely my favorites. They were beyond beautiful, simply out of this world gorgeous. Thank you for the great tutorial, Jennifer, I really enjoyed it.💟💟💟

    Very nice! It's been a while since I've done alcohol inks but they are a lot of fun. I still have so many of the Tim Holtz inks and the metallics. Time to pull them out and revisit that technique. I have a few large leaf dies that I think would work well with this technique especially using some fall colors. It would be pretty on the vellum as well.

    This technique is so cool, and it goes along with the marble trend that's been super popular lately. I love how the more you work with the ink, the more it looks like actual marble! I'm obsessed with it. I, too, would frame that beautiful rainbow piece :)

I'm starting my own small business selling bookmarks and bookish art prints and I really love the way you get your backgrounds done with alternatives to watercolor because like you, it isn't my strong suit. Anyway, love your videos so much! Could you do a video showing how to get a galaxy looking background using different materials like the alcohol inks, watercolor, tombow dual brush pens, etc? I'd love to see that as well as your materials/supplies collection.

    Jennifer that was a great tut. Love alcohol inks and have used them for a long time but I didn't even know about spreading them with a brush. Have you use canned air instead of just a straw? So much fun. I also am now aware that I really do need to purchase the actual blending solution as I've always used just straight alcohol but to see you do both in the same process made me really see the difference that the two do. So thank you very much!!
